As @Nate_Pearson has said, we’ve been working on a new version of PowerMatch, which we’re calling Experimental PowerMatch or ePM for now. It is currently only available on our desktop application (Mac/Windows). It’s gone through internal testing and now it’s ready for a broader group of users to try it out. That’s where you come in!
If you would like to help us improve Experimental PowerMatch by being one of its very early testers, then please take these steps:
-
Make sure you have installed the latest version of the TrainerRoad Desktop App.
-
Answer 6 quick questions: https://forms.gle/JnJq5ky7ah9M6f6Z7
-
Wait <1 business day* for us to add you to Experimental PowerMatch. To know if you have been granted access to the feature, go to where you would typically modify PowerMatch settings (Device Settings > Smart Trainer). There you should see a new toggle below the existing PowerMatch settings called PowerMatch Test. To turn it on, simply click the toggle. (See image below.)
-
For your next “difficult” ride, please give Experimental PowerMatch a try. If you find that it is preventing you from completing your workout the way you’d like, feel free to switch back to your typical settings mid-ride. Please do not change any of the Experimental PowerMatch advanced settings. Try this approach on as many workouts as you can, for at least 3 rides.
-
After each ride, please complete this 3-question ride report: https://forms.gle/tbbgYn6QoN2r66Q16
-
We may follow-up with you regarding some advanced settings to modify prior to your next ride. If you do not hear from us, assume that you should maintain your current settings.
*Those of you who have matching TrainerRoad and forum usernames will have already been granted access to ePM by the time you read this.
Thank you and we look forward to getting your feedback!
